Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a photomask whose surface if flat by forming a pattern of a photoresist on a glass substrate, using its as a mask, and executing etching. CONSTITUTION:A resist pattern 12 is formed on a glass substrate 11. Subsequently, the substrate 11 is etched to a desired depth by using the resist pattern 12 as a mask, and thereafter, the resist pattern 12 is removed. Also, a light shielding material film 13 is formed on the substrate 11 so as to be thicker than the step difference of the substrate 11, and subsequently, a flat surface is formed by polishing the film 13. In the end, when the film 13 is etched to the extent that the upper part of the step difference of the substrate 11 is exposed, a photomask is prepared. In this way, there is no step difference between the surface of the substrate 11 and the surface of the film 13, and even in case of contact exposure, the photoresist on the semiconductor substrate is not damaged.

(Prior art) Conventional photo masks are made by forming a layer of light-shielding material on a glass substrate, and then applying photoresist on top of that. It is coated, patterned using photolithography technology, and created by selectively etching the light-shielding material. However, according to this method, the light-shielding material is partially attached to the glass substrate with the rounded surface.
At the end of the light-shielding material pattern, there is a step equal to the thickness of the light-shielding material film. This step damages the photoresist film on the semiconductor substrate during the photolithography process by contact exposure to the semiconductor substrate, resulting in peeling of the resist, staining of the mask, and even poor adhesion between the mask and the semiconductor substrate. Please note that this may also cause a decrease in resolution.

(Fc Means for Solving the Problem) According to the present invention, the remaining portion of the light shielding material on the glass substrate is first lowered by the desired thickness of the light shielding material, and then the light shielding material is The film is applied to a desired thickness or more, and the surface of the light-shielding material is polished to form a flat surface on the top. After that, the light-shielding material is etched, and the etching is finished when the light-shielding material at the top of the step on the glass surface disappears. As a result, a method for manufacturing a photomask is obtained, which forms a photomask in which a pattern of light-shielding material is embedded in the glass surface and there is no step difference between bright and dark areas.
